A Red Warning for Dublin, Kildare, Louth, Wicklow and Meath is currently in place until noon tomorrow.

Up to ten centimetres of snow fell in some parts of the East coast last night, with more heavy snowfall predicted throughout the day. Up to 25cms of the white stuff is expected on the ground by lunchtime tomorrow.

It's been confirmed that all schools will close tomorrow and Friday. That covers primary, post-primary and third-level institutions.

Given the disruption to transport and the safety risks arising before blizzard like conditions hit Munster and Leinster, all schools, third level institutions, colleges and centres of further education in red areas will be closed tomorrow and Friday.

Luas will operate services from 5.30am with a frequency of 30 minutes until 12 noon. Service will be suspended across both lines from 12pm with no tram service on both lines. All updates available here: https://t.co/GkL4FmFo1J#StormEmma
